HNW client percentage for Team firms serving clients in Puerto Rico

High-net-worth (HNW) client percentage measures the share of a firm’s clients who meet the SEC’s high-net-worth threshold—roughly $1.1 million in managed assets or $2.2 million in net worth. This metric helps indicate the type of clients a firm is built to serve: higher percentages suggest a focus on more complex, bespoke planning for wealthier individuals, while lower percentages reflect broader access and more standardized services.

In Puerto Rico, among team firms—those with 5 to 30 advisors or managing over $500 million in assets—the median HNW client percentage is 40.44%, which is notably higher than the national median of 32.28%. This suggests that many Puerto Rican team firms tend to serve a larger share of high-net-worth clients, possibly emphasizing more specialized and complex financial planning. The distribution ranges widely, with some firms serving as few as around 16% HNW clients and others nearly 100%, reflecting a mix of firms that may either be early in their growth or intentionally focused on a narrower, wealthier clientele. This range indicates a diversity of approaches within the state, from firms offering broader affluent planning to those deeply specialized in high-net-worth services.

For you, understanding a firm’s HNW client percentage can clarify whether its service model aligns with your financial situation and goals. A higher percentage often means higher minimums and more tailored advice, while a lower percentage may offer greater accessibility and standardized planning. There’s no single “right” number—consider this metric alongside others to find a firm that matches your needs and preferences.
